TimesLive reports that SA Football Association (Safa) president Danny Jordaan has intimated that new Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter is either earning the same or less than his predecessor, Shakes Mashaba.
Briefing parliament's sports and recreation portfolio committee on Wednesday, Jordaan denied rumours that Baxter would earn R1-million a month or that he had demanded that his son, Lee, be appointed a goalkeeping coach with the national team. At yesterday's briefing, both Jordaan and Safa CEO Dennis Mumble flatly refused to reveal the exact amount paid to Baxter despite repeated requests by DA MP Tsepo Mhlongo. "We have not published any salaries of any of our staff, including the former coach. What you read in the papers ... they are throwing around figures that have no basis in reality," said Mumble. He added that Baxter's salary was a contractual matter and that the two parties had signed a confidentiality clause. Mashaba's R583,000-a-month package became public knowledge during the previous coach's CCMA hearing against his dismissal by Safa, which is still under way.
